I am a UK resident with a UK account, but now when I log in, the language changes to French and I am stuck.
How do I fix this, and why did it happen? I recently made a purchase from someone with a French paypal account, but why would this change my paypal language?

Hey there,
This is a weird one alright.
Does it do this on any other PC?
I would advise clearing the cache and cookies on your PC. Depending on which browser you use, this can be done under 'Options,' 'Preferences,' or 'Tools'. Have a look at your browser's online help section for further information if you are not sure on how to do this.
Let us know how you get on.

Same problem on my account, trying to set up with paypal as a merchant, but I'd rather not enter legally binding arrangements when the contracts are being translated by google on the fly >_<

Mine also does this- i have changed back the language to English using the settings, however it doesnt work on every page. The first payment i made with this account was to France and I appear to have a French account. I recently tried to change my address and the pre-filled country was France but i was unable to change it. i wasn't able to withdraw money from the account (it was some time ago i cant remember why, but it was something to do with it not going to a french bank account i believe?) and had to paypal it to a friends account and have them withdraw the funds then bank tranfer me! how can i change my account country?!

Unfortunately, my account has suddenly decided to do the same and display completely in French. I am als from the UK. I have no idea (even though I can understand basic French) how to change it back as even though I have gone into the preferences section, there is no box or option to change language preference. I have no way of looking at my profile - I don't know if that button exists next to the name in English Paypal anymore, but from the pages I have looked at online, people are suggesting to go into your profile in Paypal and the language preference option is in there. I am completely stumped and quite upset as I use Paypal for lots of things including my business.
